The “theatre of dreams” turned into… a nightmare for Manchester United! Eric Ten Hach’s team, who should no longer feel safe on the bench of the “red devils”, were drawn at home by the Bournemouthwhich went through “Old Trafford” with the emphasis 3-0.
United’s fourth defeat in nine home games came… naturally, as extreme as that sounds. THE Solanke just in the 5th minute he froze the home team and Bournemouth held the lead with typical ease to head into the score. With Tavernier setting up the other two goals in the replay, it set the stage for a roaring Old Trafford crowd from the Manchester club’s fans, who see another season on the line. So, in the 68th minute, the 24-year-old midfielder served to Billing 2-0, while he did the same five minutes later, with Sensei to put the icing on the cake.
In “Molino” now, the Nottingham managed to straighten up and leave with effect. Because Forest took the 1-1 at the home of the hard-nosed Wolves and maybe Steve Cooper feels safe for this week. Everything was decided in the first part, since o Hell in the 14th minute he gave the visitors the lead, with Swing at 32′ to answer! With the second half being a… rodeo that looked like it was going to come out victorious, but it didn’t happen in the end!
A breather for Burnley and Sheffield United, with the former picking up a point at the “Amex” against Brighton (1-1) and the latter just celebrating their… 2nd treble, after managing to beat Brentford 1-0!
